You

I can't stop thinking about you
I thought I could,
but my mind says otherwise.

"What do you look for in a lover?"
they ask me.
You. My thoughts say, but my mouth says
"Caring, kind, lovable, funny."

It's times like this,
when I meet someone new
and I compare them
to you, silently.

"Yes, but they don't do this like him..."
"I don't like how they say that..."
"Yes, but they aren't him..."

They aren't him.
They aren't HIM.
They aren't you.
And they will never be you.

Because you are all that I need,
All that I want.
And I am not what you need,
Not what you want.

So why can't I get that through my heart?
